Consider the Nose to Toes therapy with its Japanese head, neck, shoulder, and foot rubs.
Gayot "Ten Thousand Waves is atypical of upscale Santa Fe accommodations... nestled on a hillside four miles east of downtown, and known foremost as a spa rather than a hotel."

Frommer's "The spacious, quiet rooms received a makeover in 2006, maintaining an artistic motif, with a warm feel created by custom-made furniture in all and kiva fireplaces in many." Full review

"The business-friendly four-pearl Eldorado offers the convenience of being just two blocks from the Plaza." Full review
Lonely Planet "Popular for meetings and weddings, this somewhat conventional hotel is located within walking distance of the plaza." Full review

Be sure to ask for a room on the north or east side for the best views (and resist being placed in a room above the noisy banquet hall).
Travel + Leisure "Across from the Georgia O'Keefe museum, and steps from the Plaza and Canyon Road, Eldorado Hotel carries the Pueblo Revival style through its cathedral-ceiling lobby and into each of the 219 rooms." Full review
Star Service "The Eldorado represents the best of the large, full-service hotels in and around the plaza, a well-equipped convention hotel that provides resortlike amenities in the middle of the action." Full review
Gayot "This pretty hotel won't disappoint visitors whove come to enjoy the city's decidedly Southwest ambiance. Kiva fireplaces adorn the Santa Fe-styled accommodations."

Book well in advance for the summer months.
Fodor's "The Eldorado sometimes gets a bad rap, but it's actually quite inviting, with individually decorated rooms and stunning mountain views." Full review
Jetsetter "Santa Fe mainstay in a landmark Pueblo Revival building, with a restaurant, spa and mountain views." Full review
